I have a 2000 F150 extd cab. I recently upgraded the sound system. I put in a Pioneer DEH-16 headunit. 4, Pioneer TS-A6870R 3 way speakers, 2 10" sony explode subs and an old 300 watt amp (given by a friend).

The subs just dont hit right to me and plus i dont like the pre-settings on the headunit.

So now i am going to put in a new system and tell me what you all think.

headunit - Alpine CDE-9843
amp - Rockford Fosgate Punch 3002
subs - 2 10" Kicker 03C10s

 

Does your headunit have subwoofer out on it?if it doesnt....get rid of it...having that option is great for large stereos

 

Sound like it should match up nicely.

Im pretty sure that most Alpines have sub outs, but its not really a problem if it doesnt. Set the crossover on your amp, and if your **** about the amp not catchin some of the higher frequencies, put a low pass FMOD on your RCA's that has a little higher cutoff frequency than what you set the amp at.

And if you wanna turn the subs off, put a switch on the REM wire.

No need for sub outs really

 

thanks for your thoughts, and yes it does have preouts for a sub.

 

i have recently upgraded the amp so that helped out tremendously and i hooked the old amp to the door speakers
